OIL
International oil companies operating in Iraq’s Kurdistan region are willing to negotiate contract terms with the Iraqi federal government and regional authorities, according to Bloomberg, citing a statement from industry group Apikur.
- Producers are prepared to resume exports if payments are guaranteed for past and future sales. They will also have to be paid directly by the buyer and maintain commercial terms.
- “Should such agreements require modifications to existing contracts, APIKUR member companies are willing to consider this,” the statement said.
- Any such modifications would require the approval of Iraq’s regional government as well as the regional Kurdish authorities and individual companies.
